Embodiment Construction

[0012]Embodiments described herein describe techniques for generating a unit test case for a component of a data transformation workflow. A data-integration workflow editor displays a graphical model of the data transformation workflow to a user. The user selects at least one icon of the graphical model that represents a transformation module within data transformation workflow. The user selects an option to create a test case for the transformation module. The user also requests that the test case be compatible with a specified software framework. The data-integration workflow editor identifies input paths to the transformation module and an output path from the transformation module in the data transformation workflow. A code generator creates a test case for the transformation module. The test case can be executed using the software framework.

[0013]When executed, the test case executes the transformation module using test input data (e.g., provided by the user). The test case the...

Abstract

Embodiments presented herein provide techniques for generating test cases for transformation modules that are part of a larger data-integration workflow for an extract, transfer, and load (ETL) project. A test case generated according to the present disclosure can be executed independently of the application that generated it and independently of data sources and destinations referenced in the data-integration workflow. To achieve this independence, the test case can include code that simulates data sources and destinations that interact with the transformation module in the data-integration workflow. Furthermore, the test case can be a unit test based on a unit testing framework and can be compatible with a selected software framework.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 395,179, entitled “Test Case Generator Built into Data-Integration Workflow Editor,” filed Sep. 15, 2016; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 402,880, entitled “Test Case Generator Built into Data-Integration Workflow Editor,” filed Sep. 30, 2016, both of which are assigned to the assignee hereof and the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUNDField[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to generating unit tests for elements of a data-integration workflow. More specifically, the present disclosure provides techniques for a data-integration workflow editor to generate code to test user-selected program modules within a user-selected software framework.Related Art[0003]Technology for gathering and storing data has greatly improved in recent decades. In particular, data collection rates, data access speeds, and data storag...
